as critical for each of us to make these arguments, we should not be hesitant even in this budgetary environment in the united states, to make the national security and moral cases for pure development assistance. further, we should be forthright in explaining that diplomacy and developments are two distinct disciplines. although diplomacy and development can be mutually reinforcing at their core, they have different priorities. resource requirements. and time horizons. most obviously diplomacy is far more concerned with solving immediate problems usually associated with countries of strategic interest. although we hope that our development efforts will sometimes yield short-term strategic benefits, this is not their primary purpose. in a developed context, we are willing to take a much larger view of the world and devote resources to countries of less or even minimal strategic impact for the moment. this underscores why development must be a goal that is independent of diplomacy and not merely a servant. to maximize our development efforts we will need robust partnerships. while historically no

in fact, all told there were more than 200 votes on the environment and public health this the house in 2011. in many cases only final passage votes were included even though lawmakers voted on countless amendments with enormous environmental implications. in contrast there are just 11 senate votes in the 2011 scorecard. so how did members do? last year 31 senators and 24 representatives earned a perfect score of 100%. on the other extreme, 13 senators and four house members earned an appalling score of zero. this is actually a smaller number than in recent years, so i think it's a pretty clear indication that those members who voted against the environment at literally every opportunity really worked hard and went out of their way to do so. and the average house score in 2011 was 45% which is lower than the 2010 average score of 57 president. 57%. but i think an even bigger indicator of the huge change in landscape from the 111th to the 112th congress is the dramatic drop in average lifetime scores. more specifically, the average lifetime score of members who were defeated in 2010 w
